Hi. last night i couldn't find my fish in his tank so a put my hand in the tank
(I was really worried. I couldn't stop thinking if he jumped out) and picked up the vase cave in his tank. he wasn't in there so i shoved back into the sand. Turns out just when i shoved it down in the sand, he tried to get inside. he got crushed After a while he passed away. I am heart broken. The day I got him for free at petco cause he had so bad finrot, he looked at me and suddenly i felt like there was nothing bad in the world. Now there is a big hole in my heart.

You must be hurting so bad right now :( I'd be beside myself if that were to happen. Don't worry though, he knows he had it good and he knows you didn't do it on purpose. You're still a great Betta owner. I am sure he would love to give his home to another poor Betta out there. Sending you some hugs!
